Prices are going up. They go up every 6 months. Sometimes 'waiting' for that pistol will actually cost more.
Shops here are a bit slow actually. But slow is normal. Some picked up on 9-11, but went back to slow soon after. But I think I'm in a 'liberal stronghold area'. |

Heard on the radio that California gun sales are up 40% compared to the same time (past two weeks) last year. They are attributing it to the WTC attack by Up yer Butt Laden.
Went to the Grant Boys in Costa Mesa - they have very little in stock - they're selling people their display models and people are buying them. The guy said that they are selling like 33 guns a day. He said its crazy and that it all started right after the attacks. So I then proceeded to buy my Ruger 10/22 Standard with the birch stock and blued barrel from him. It's sweet - can hardly wait. |

I hope you realize that Grant Boys was vocally in favor of the 1989 roberti-roos "assault weapon" ban. They even had employees parading out on the sidewalk holding signs encouraging the bill's passage.

I'm all for supporting the local economy, it's one of the reasons I'd buy from and pay a slightly higher price at the local gun store, instead of ordering it from the Internet. Martin Retting, the store in Culver City has been there forever, I've bought quite a few weapons from them over the years, I'll never go back. Depending on which jerk you talk to in the store, their demeanor ranges from indifferent to rude.
I'm used to being treated with courtesy wherever I go, that place never fails to make me feel unwanted and stupid for just asking them if they carry anything. |

You should go ahead and get yourself a decent trigger.I just bought the same gun and because of liability issues Ruger ships those things with what feels like 20lb trigger pulls. On Target has Clarks with free shipping. |

I talked to a friend in northern NJ last night. He was in one of the few gun shops in that area the other day and told me that you would not believe the lines. He said that lots of folks were looking for semi's with large mags. Oops, to bad they let that state go down hill as far as gun rights go. Luckily around here everyone owns a gun already and there is non major rush.[uzi]

Yep...Busy here too. Prices still pretty respecable, except for gas masks of course. There has been a noticable run on ammo as well.

Has my curiousity peaked. [:P] The idea is to replace the filament type bulb with a light-emitting diode. Very durable, with long life and low power consumption, but considerably less light emitted. Can be had in various colors, as well as arrays which boost light emission, space permitting. Sorry, no link, but you might do a search on Real Goods, and C Crane Co.. |
